My car ('66 Fastback, 200/C4) was missing the radiator when I bought it, and now I have no fittings to connect the tranny cooler lines to the new radiator. They're listed as 359058-S in the Mustang Restoration Guide, but I can't find them in any catalog or website. Anyone know where I can get these?

Welcome to M&M Andy. Did you try NPD, they have just about every part that is on a Mustang.------------------ William "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."

Most any radiator shop will give you a couple.

NPD and Mustangs Unlimited both carry fittings listed for 67-73, but they appear to be male to male, I need male to female for my car. I'll check at my local radiator shop today.

I have an original replacement radiator in my 66. The fittings I needed were 1/8 NPT male threads to 5/16 inverted flare female. I have an 8 cylinder engine but I think the parts are the same.

They are indeed the same and are available at any NAPA parts store. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator NHRA/SRA member and licensed Superstock driver NHRA and IHRA SS/LA & SS/MA National Record Holder '00,'01,'02,'03,'04 &'05 First NHRA & IHRA 289 automatic Superstock Mustang in the TENS 06-99 First SS/MA in the TENS 04-03 IHRA division 5 Superstock Champion Fleet of FoMoCo products including 88 ASC McLaren Mustang #28 The Barry of BarrysGrrl Quote #1: "I never met a magazine mechanic I liked."
